~Automotive Awesome~ *NEWS,PHOTOS,FINDS, & BS*

We had a Sami as our guide at a meet last weekend. They are very capable with the proper setup however I did notice they are VERY bouncy.
Ant & I stepped on it too.

 

haha it's so little! I can imagine they're bouncy

Volvo's tactic with their 2.0 Litre.... TRIPLE ZE BOOST! two turbs and a supercharger.

Weird. Only two cylinders per turbo..tiny turbos haha. Fast spool though

And my god good power!

 

Yea I4's aren't my fav but they do have a big curve for potential. There's a supercharger in there too, I think the turbos are feeding the supercharger.

 

No it's an electric turbo. It turns in instantly with the touch of the accelerator and feeds the twin turbos. Until the exhaust catches up and takes over then it turns off.

Least that's what the article said.

 

Hmm guess I should read it all haha. I thought I remember them saying that in the short video too.

 

Hey thanks! I am pretty excited about it. I didn't really want a project, but this will be cool and I can really learn the rig. Samis are cool, but I think I would rather have a mini truck than a sami. Because Toyota!

Back story, my mother in law had a 72 Camaro when she got pregnant with my wife, and had to get rid of it because it wasn't family friendly. Well she has been saving her pennies and looking and finally found this. 2SS, and 6 speed were her only requirements and surprisingly those are hard to find. I got to pick it up and "store" it for her over the weekend until she could pick it up today. Been too long since I had something fast. This car is pretty rad for out of the box.

Cool TJ! I like the Camaro.

Just a fancy flamethrower...

Yup the drivers car is gone...

 

the fact that you can see him spinning the tires on every upshift is nuts

 

and the cheesy plastic motor cover flapping in the wind haha

crazy cars.

 

wonder what the impact on the aerodynamics is..subtle im sure..but still be interesting.

 

The kind of car you can build with this is almost ridiculous, and $43k minus engine and transaxle isnt too bad either considering that pretty much everything you need and no need to hunt down a donor car, plus it will work with any engine that will fit in the bay

Rally cross..yet another reason getting a subie would be fun haha I'd love to do that

 

I can't afford to.......if you know what I mean.

 

mmmmmm

 

That's a good looking one right there.

Glad you liked it. I want to drive one!
